Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded unevenly steady from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Yearling steers traded mostly steady while yearling heifers were not well tested. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Feeder cash prices for long-time weaned calves remained strong today in spite of the downward slide of the cattle futures. Discounts on bawling or short weaned calves are growing as night time temperatures dropped in to the 50's, signaling that fall is quickly approaching.
